Bangladesh film star expelled from India for election campaigning

A Bangladesh film star has apologised after he was expelled from India for taking part in election campaigning, but found support in his country's foreign minister who said the giant neighbour had overreacted.

Ferdous Ahmad has starred in more than 200 films, and was kicked out of India on Tuesday after campaigning for West Bengal state chief minister Mamata Banerjee, a rival of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
